“We are a country of avid coffee drinkers, so I’m especially excited to have the opportunity to bring this film out to audiences,” Peter Goldwyn said. “Rock captured all the passion and dedication that baristas have in providing the absolute best cup of coffee to the public and in these competitions. The film will have you rooting for your favorites to win while desperately wanting to head out to your favorite coffee bar to have a cup.”
